1 6 SEASONS WIT (H223) Z Purton B/TT Tracked the pace from draw 1, moved strongly into contention, wrestled the lead from leader 100M, well in command closing stages.
2 5 HARMONY N BLESSED (E061) K C Leung B/TT Showed speed to lead, set good pace upfront, pressed by rival 200M, fought hard but couldn't hold off challenge final 100M. Clear from rest.
3 7 EQUALETTA BLITZ (D385) B Avdulla B/H Began fairly, settled midfield, pushed along 450M, did best work late to claim 3rd, no threat to first two.
4 10 ATOMIC ENERGY (H150) Y L Chung TT Obtained a midfield position, raced ungenerously in the early and middle stages, ran on moderately final 300M. No impression on first two.
5 8 DROPS OF GOD (E260) K Teetan -- Jumped well, up with early pace before holding back to settle in 5th spot, never going the pace to challenge leaders in the straight, kept on one paced to the line.
6 4 TORONADO PHANTOM (E300) M Dee TT Restrained after the start, settled at the rear, 9Ls to make up 400M, closed off best but had too much to do. (Jockey reminded to ride out to the finish.)
7 1 ATOMIC FORCE (G221) H Bowman -- Chased leaders 2-wide, fought on under top weight passing 400M, briefly went 3rd mid-straight, no extra late stages and lost several places near line.
8 9 GORGEOUS VITALITY (G051) M Chadwick CP From wide draw jumped only fairly, shifted across behind runners to be 6Ls towards the rear, stayed on final 300M without seriously threatening.
9 11 HARMONY FIRE (E175) M L Yeung SR/TT Moved up to press leader on outside, couldn't sustain run passing 200M, faded towards the line. (Bled.)
10 3 KEEP YOU WARM (D272) C Y Ho B/XB Away with them, soon niggled along but struggled to keep up with rivals, soon left behind turning for home.
